Two men have been arrested after riot scenes in Govan.
Hundreds of riot police were called to Govan Road at around 7pm last night after an organised Irish Republican Band March was met by opposing loyalist supporters.
Police have now revealed two men, aged 37 and 21, have been arrested and charged.
A reporter will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
It is understood both men are expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
We told you earlier that council leader Susan Aitken said that last night's incident 'can't happen again'.
Taking to Twitter, she said: "The law requires Glasgow City Council to facilitate marches.
"Councillors try very hard to balance public protection & human rights.
"But last night, thugs obsessed with ancient hatreds used our city to stage an appalling abuse of the right to process and protest.
"This can’t happen again."
